Polar Boy

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in an igloo made from snow and ice and where, in Winter, the sun doesn't rise? This is the story of Iluak, an Alaskan boy from the 13th Century, who has to travel with his tribe to hunt for food, clothes and shelter. When he saves a dying bear cub on the ice he begins a journey which leads him to face the greatest challenge of his life to help his people live in peace. Shortlisted for the 2009 CBC Children's Book of the Year Awards - Younger Readers.
